One of the current hot topics in science is data: how can datasets be used in scientific and scholarly research in a more reliable, citable and accountable way? Data is of paramount importance to scientific progress, yet most research data remains private. Enhancing the transparency of the processes applied to collect, treat and analyze data will help to render scientific research results reproducible and thus more accountable. The datasets itself should also be accessible to other researchers, so that research publications, dataset descriptions, and the actual datasets can be linked. The journal Data provides a forum to publish methodical papers on processes applied to data collection, treatment and analysis, as well as for data descriptors publishing descriptions of a linked dataset.

Abstract

Recommender systems play a crucial role in personalizing user experiences in e-commerce, digital media, and web design. However, traditional methods such as Collaborative Filtering and Content-Based Filtering struggle to account for visual preferences, limiting their effectiveness in domains were aesthetics influence decision-making, such as website theme recommendations. These systems face challenges such as data sparsity, cold-start problems, and an inability to capture intricate visual features. To address these limitations, this study integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with advanced recommendation models, including Inception V3, DeepStyle, and Visual Neural Personalized Ranking (VNPR), to enhance the accuracy and personalization of visually-aware recommender systems. A quantitative research approach was employed, using controlled experiments to evaluate different combinations of feature extractors and recommendation models. Data was sourced from ThemeForest, a widely used platform for website themes, and underwent preprocessing to ensure consistency. The models were evaluated using precision, recall, F1 score, Mean Average Precision (MAP), and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) to measure recommendation quality. The results indicate that Inception V3 + VNPR outperforms other model combinations, achieving the highest accuracy in personalized theme recommendations. The integration of transfer learning further improved feature extraction and performance, even with limited training data. These findings underscore the importance of combining deep learning-based feature extraction with recommendation models to improve visually-driven recommendations. This study provides a comparative analysis of CNN-based recommender systems and contributes insights for optimizing recommendations in visually complex domains. Despite improvements, challenges such as dataset diversity remain a limitation, affecting generalizability. Future research could explore alternative CNN architectures, such as ResNet and DenseNet, and incorporate user feedback mechanisms to further enhance recommendation accuracy and adaptability.

Abstract

Legal Aid services in South Africa, administered by Legal Aid South Africa (SA), aim to provide essential legal representation to vulnerable individuals lacking financial resources. Despite its significant role, there is a pervasive perception among the public that the quality of these state-funded services is substandard, often leading to negative attitudes towards the organization. This research employs sentiment analysis to evaluate client perceptions of Legal Aid SA's services, using a dataset of 5,246 entries from Twitter and the Internal client feedback system between 2019 and 2024. The study utilizes various machine learning algorithms, including Naive Bayes, Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest, Support Vector Classification (SVC), Logistic Regression, and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), to analyze sentiment polarity and classify feedback into positive, neutral, and negative sentiments. The accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores assessed model performance. The SVC and XGBoost models demonstrated superior performance, achieving testing accuracies of 90.10% and 90.00%, respectively. In contrast, Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression lagged, with test accuracies of 82.00% and 85.00%, respectively. The findings reveal that most responses are either neutral or positive, suggesting a predominantly favourable impression of Legal Aid services. This research not only aims to enhance Legal Aid SA's service offerings but may also provide valuable insights for similar organizations globally.

Abstract

This work aims to integrate two decision analytic methodologies, DEMATEL and SAW, to develop a comprehensive and effective model for assessing research performance among instructors. These strategies aim to rectify the deficiencies of traditional evaluation models, which often neglect the complexity of interconnections among performance metrics. This study utilizes research performance data from lecturers, encompassing publication count, journal quality, impact, funding, and cooperation. SAW is employed to calculate aggregate scores utilizing weights obtained from the DEMATEL analysis, whereas DEMATEL is utilized to delineate and assess the interrelationships among the evaluation criteria. The results indicate that the quantity of publications significantly influences research quality, succeeded by research impact and journal quality. Alternative A, with a maximum score of 0.996, demonstrated that the professor excelled in nearly all categories. A clear and objective evaluation methodology was developed by integrating DEMATEL with SAW. The development of more flexible criterion weights to accommodate shifts in academic practices and research priorities is a significant implication for future investigations. To evaluate this model's appropriateness and effectiveness in various academic contexts, it must be further assessed across multiple topic areas and types of educational institutions. This study facilitates the implementation of big data technology in academic performance evaluation, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of assessment methods.

Abstract

Interest rates and inflation are two key macroeconomic indicators that have a direct impact on a country’s economy. The Fisher hypothesis addresses the relationship between these two variables, with its core idea being that nominal interest rates and inflation have a positive long-term relationship, while real interest rates remain constant. The primary objective of this study is to explore the relationship between interest rates and inflation in Vietnam during the period from 2007 to 2023. Unlike previous studies, this research, based on Vietnam's specific context, employs the Smooth Transition Autoregressive (STAR) model. This approach allows for testing nonlinear cointegration, overcoming the limitations of traditional cointegration methods. The study identifies that interest rates and inflation exhibit long-term co-movement, adhering to a common trend. When these two variables deviate from their equilibrium position, they rapidly adjust back to equilibrium, governed by an asymmetric logarithmic transition function. The findings challenge the one-to-one relationship proposed by the Fisher hypothesis, revealing a more complex link between interest rates and inflation. Additionally, the study highlights the interactive nature of Vietnam’s monetary and financial markets. It demonstrates that monetary policy tools can influence the financial market, while the long-term nominal interest rate emerges as a potential indicator of inflation. These insights provide significant implications for policymakers aiming to stabilize the economy through effective monetary and financial strategies. This research further confirms the effectiveness of nonlinear cointegration methods and the STAR model in macroeconomic analysis. The article also presents an interesting finding regarding the Fisher hypothesis in a developing country like Vietnam.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Intent Sentiment Analysis on Twitter data related to the Village Fund program, leveraging Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB) and enhancing it with Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) and XGBoost (XGB). The analysis categorizes tweets into six labels: Optimistic, Pessimistic, Advice, Satire, Appreciation, and No Intent. Initially, the MNB model achieved an accuracy of 67% on a 90:10 data split. By applying SMOTE, accuracy improved by 12%, reaching 89%. However, adding Chi-Square feature selection did not increase accuracy further. Incorporating XGB into the MNB+SMOTE model led to a 6% improvement, achieving a final accuracy of 95%. Comprehensive model evaluation revealed that the MNB+SMOTE+XGB model achieved 96% accuracy, 96% precision, 96% recall, and a 96% F1-score, with an AUC of 99%, categorizing it as excellent. These findings demonstrate that the combination of SMOTE for addressing class imbalance and XGBoost for boosting performance significantly enhances the MNB model's classification capabilities. The novelty lies in the integration of these techniques to improve intent sentiment classification for public opinion analysis on the Village Fund program. The results indicate that the majority of tweets labeled as "No Intent" reflect a lack of specific sentiment or actionable intent, providing valuable insights into public perception of the program.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide, making early detection of the disease crucial. This study proposes a deep learning-based approach that has the advantage of leveraging pre-trained models to save data, time, and computation to classify Pap smear images without relying on segmentation, which is traditionally required to isolate key morphological features. Instead, this method leverages deep learning to identify patterns directly from raw images, reducing preprocessing complexity while maintaining high accuracy. The dataset used in this study is a public data repository from Nusa Mandiri University (RepomedUNM), which has a wider variety of data. This dataset is used to classify images into four categories: Normal, LSIL, HSIL, and Koilocytes. The dataset consists of 400 images evenly distributed, ensuring class balance during training. Transfer learning is applied using five Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures: ResNet152V2, InceptionV3, ResNet50V2, DenseNet201, and ConvNeXtBase. To prevent overfitting, techniques such as data augmentation, dropout regularization, and class weight adjustment are applied. The evaluation results in this study showed the highest accuracy with a value of ResNet152V2 = 0.9025, InceptionV3 = 0.8953 and DenseNet201 = 0.8845. ResNet152V2 excelled in extracting complex features, while InceptionV3 showed better computational efficiency. The study also highlighted the clinical impact of misclassification between Koilocytes and LSIL, which may affect diagnostic outcomes. Data augmentation techniques, including horizontal and vertical flipping and normalization, improved the model's generalization to a wide variety of images. Specificity was emphasized as a key evaluation metric to minimize false positives, which is important in medical diagnostics. The findings confirmed that transfer learning effectively overcomes the limitations of small datasets and improves the classification accuracy of pap smear images. This approach shows potential for integration into clinical workflows to enable automated and efficient cervical cancer detection.

Abstract

Congestion in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can occur from various factors, including resource limitations and the transmission of packets surpassing the capacity of receiving nodes. This congestion may arise from natural causes or be exacerbated by self-serving nodes. Furthermore, malicious sensor nodes within WSNs have the capability to instigate congestion-like scenarios by either flooding the network with redundant fake packets or maliciously discarding genuine data packets. Relying solely on conventional congestion control techniques proves inadequate for ensuring fair delivery, necessitating a proactive approach to prevent such adversities by segregating these nodes from the network. Existing congestion control strategies often make the unrealistic assumption that all nodes are authentic and behave appropriately. To address these challenges, a proposed Genetic Algorithm based Trust-Aware Congestion Control (GA-TACC) not only manages congestion under natural circumstances but also considers scenarios where hostile nodes deliberately improve packet delivery. The GA evaluates the credibility score (CS), contributing to enhanced performance, and GA-TACC demonstrates superiority over existing state-of-the-art techniques for wireless sensor network.

Abstract

This study focuses on the importance of industrial risk management for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Algeria, particularly given the administrative, economic, and financial challenges they face, as well as their limited experience in this field. Risk management serves as a strategic tool that aids institutions in achieving safety and sustainability by identifying potential risks that may lead to industrial disasters, such as chemical incidents and technical malfunctions, then analyzing, assessing, and responding to these risks in ways that minimize their impact on the safety of individuals, property, and the environment. The study aims to analyze the impact of risk management on SMEs' ability to make accurate and timely decisions during critical moments while fostering a culture of safety and proactive risk handling. To achieve these objectives, a survey was conducted on a sample of 390 Algerian industrial SMEs. The study employed the Confirmatory Factor Analysis methodology (CB-SEM) to analyze data from these SMEs, which helped in identifying core risk management processes such as risk description, analysis, and conclusion, and evaluating their effectiveness in supporting decision-making. The findings indicate that the impact of the risk description process on decision-making is positive but weak at 14.7%, while the impact of the risk analysis process on decision-making is also positive and weak at 18.9%. However, the effect of the risk conclusion process on decision-making was positive and moderate, at 64.8%. The results further reveal that SMEs that adopt a comprehensive and sustainable approach to risk management have a greater ability to manage disasters and ensure operational safety. The study highlights the importance of regularly reviewing safety protocols, providing training and simulations for employees, improving risk response strategies, and enhancing organizational performance. However, it was observed that some SMEs lack reliance on modern systems for risk avoidance. The study recommends the importance of allocating an independent budget to address potential risks, activating proactive systems for risk prediction, and employing internal and external experts for risk analysis. The study recommends that SMEs focus on developing mechanisms for describing and analyzing risks and collaborating with specialized entities to implement modern systems that support safety and sustainability. Additionally, it advises organizations to raise employees' awareness and provide training on risk handling to enhance the effectiveness of risk management and ensure business continuity.

Abstract

Nowadays, semantic web technologies play a crucial role in the knowledge representation paradigm. With the rise of imprecise and vague knowledge, there is an upsurge demand in applying a concrete well-established procedure to represent such knowledge. Ontologies, particularly fuzzy ontologies, are increasingly applied in application scenarios in which handling of vague knowledge is significant. However, such fuzzy ontologies utilize fuzzy set theory to provide quantitative methods to manage vagueness. In various cases of real-life scenarios, people need to express their everyday requirements using linguistic adverbs such as very, exactly, mostly, possibly, etc. The aim is to show how fuzzy properties can be complemented by Rough Set methods to capture another type of imprecision caused by approximation spaces. Rough sets theory offers a qualitative approach to model such vagueness via describing fuzzy properties at multiple levels of granularity using approximation sets. Using rough-set theory, each fuzzy concept is represented by two approximations. The lower approximation PL(C) consists of a set of fuzzy properties that are definitely observable in the concept. The upper approximation PU(C) on the other hand contains fuzzy properties that are possibly associated with the concept but may not be observed. This paper introduces a methodology named FUZRUF-onto methodology, which is a formal guidance on how to build fuzzy rough ontologies from scratch using extensive research in the area of fuzzy rough combination. Fuzzy set and rough set theories are applied to capture the inherently fuzzy relationships among concepts expressed by natural languages. The methodology provides a very good guideline for formally constructing fuzzy rough ontologies in terms of completeness, correctness, consistency, understandability, and conciseness. To explain how the FUZRUF-onto works, and demonstrate its usefulness, a practical step by step example is provided.

The primary objective of this research is to develop an image captioning system in Indonesian by leveraging deep learning architectures, specifically Vision Transformer (ViT) and IndoBERT. This study addresses the challenge of generating accurate and contextually relevant captions for images, which is a crucial task in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing. The main contribution of this research lies in integrating ViT for visual feature extraction and IndoBERT for linguistic representation to enhance the quality of image captions in Indonesian. This approach aims to overcome limitations in existing models by improving semantic understanding and contextual relevance in generated captions. The methodology involves data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation using the Flickr8k dataset, which was translated into Indonesian. The research employs various data augmentation techniques to enhance model performance. The model is trained on a combined architecture where ViT extracts visual features and IndoBERT processes textual information. The experimental procedures include training the model on the Indonesian-translated Flickr8k dataset and evaluating its performance using BLEU and METEOR scores. The training loss and validation loss graphs provide insights into the model’s learning process. The results indicate that the proposed model outperforms traditional CNN+LSTM and Transformer-based models in terms of BLEU and METEOR scores. A detailed analysis of these results highlights the advantages of using ViT and IndoBERT for this task. The findings of this research have significant implications for real-world applications, such as automatic image captioning for visually impaired users, content tagging for multimedia platforms, and improvements in machine translation. Future research can explore the integration of human evaluation metrics and the use of larger datasets to enhance generalizability.
